> The World Bank and the IMF will hold their 55th
> annual meeting on September
> 26-29 in Praha, Czech Republic. Many Southern and
> Eastern movements would
> like to send a delegate there, in order to make
> their voices heard and
> participate in the mass civil disobedience actions
> that are planned, but
> cannot afford the airfares. We appeal all
> organisations and individuals who
> can afford it to donate some money for their travel
> expenses.
>
> The IMF/WB and the Czech government are preparing a
> public-relations
> cabaret to give the impression that they are
> listening to people, and they
> have money to pay the flights of their puppets to
> Praha. We think that it
> is really important that the movements which have
> been struggling against
> the massive destruction and destitution created by
> these institutions, and
> have only received repression in return, are also
> present in Praha. And
> they will not be invited by the Bank and the Fund.
>
> There will be decentralised actions all over the
> world on September 26th
> (the fourth global day of action against capitalism,
> for more information
> go to http://www.x21.org/s26/). But we think that
> beyond that, it is very
> important that the voices of the South and the East
> are represented in the
> very same place where the IMF/WB (and the
> international press) will be.
>
> In the page http://www.geocities.com/mpmpraha/ you
> will find information
> about the movements that want to send a
> representative to Praha and the
> money that is needed for each ticket. We will update
> the information in the
> page regularly with information about the donations
> that have been received
> already, to make this fund-raising exercise totally
> transparent.
>
> If you want to contribute, you have different
> options:
>
> 1. The one that we consider best: you can collect
> money in your region or
> country (asking different organisations to
> contribute) and pay for one (or
> more) flight ticket from there, without banks or
> postal money orders in
> between. You can pay for the ticket in your country
> and ask the airline to
> issue the ticket in the country of origin of the
> person coming. If you want
> to do this, please let us know so that we include
> the information in the
> web page.
>
> 2. If you cannot collect enough money for a complete
> ticket, you can send a
> postal money order to:
>
> Recipient: Mouvements Populaires et Mondialisation
> (MPM)
> Address: c/o IAS, Maison des Assoc., 11 rue des
> Savoises; 1205 Geneva,
> Switzerland
> Purpose: Praha 2000
>
> 3. Finally, you can also transfer your donations to
> the following account:
>
> Account holder: Mouvements Populaires et
> Mondialisation (MPM)
> Account number: 70.505.5
> Bank: Banque Alternative BAS
> Address: CP 161, 1001 Lausanne, Switzerland
> Bank code (Clearing bancaire): 8390
> Purpose: Praha 2000
>
> It is important that you write 'Praha 2000' as the
> purpose of the transfer
> since the same account is used for several other
> purposes. All the funds
> received for Praha 2000 will be entirely devoted to
> pay the travel expenses
> of representatives of Southern and Eastern
> movements.
>
> Please contact us in the address <mpmgva@xxxxxxx> in
> case you have any
> questions.
>
> In solidarity,
> Mouvements Populaires et Mondialisation
